“Lily just loves it when we drop her off with Christianna and Mary B. and why not because they continue to provide the best care and attention to her. Thanks again and for the video too.”
“Tina was fantastic! She sent me text messages, pictures, and videos of my Boston Terrier, Lee Lee. Tina took Lee Lee to the local dog park for exercise and cuddled with her in the evenings. I don't think my dog missed me at all. I will definitely use Tina in the future.”
“Was very appreciative that Donna took Kodi at the last minute when her usual border wasn't available. She seems so pleasant. Kodi was fine. I will definitely use her again if necessary. I gave her a cash tip which I always do so that they can get full benefit of it.”
“Lina had a wonderful stay, she is a rescue from the Humane Society and Denise and her husband took extra time to make her feel safe and comfortable. I received daily updates and pictures. I will 100 % use them again and highly recommend Denise!”

“She’s the best ! I had a last minute family situation and she was able to accommodate getting my dog later in the evening and kept her longer than expected! Thank you !”
“Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my dog while I was away. It gave me real peace of mind knowing they were in such loving and capable hands. Your patience, kindness, and attention truly mean a lot, and I could tell my dog felt comfortable and happy with you. I really appreciate the time, effort, and love you put into caring for them. Thank you again for everything!”
“Our dog squid had a fantastic time with Rose and her dogs while we went away for a 4 day trip. Rose was very easy to work with and sent pictures and updates all throughout squids stay with her. We are super grateful and will absolutely be reaching out to her next time we need a reliable dog sitter.”
“When I picked up Jackson, I was not sure he wanted to leave his vacation with Kathryn and her wonderful family! Sure he was excited to see us, but, then he laid down next to Kathryn as if he was feeling pretty comfortable at her home! She sent photos and write ups daily and this made me feel so much better about leaving him in her care. It was like he knew the family forever! This was the first time we went away without him in 8 years so I was a bit anxious about leaving. I would have no problems leaving him again if I have another opportunity to do so. I highly recommend Kathryn and I know he was very happy being there and well cared for. He enjoyed his daily walks and never missed a meal and perhaps, Me!!!! If there were 10 stars I would click everyone of them!”
“Sarah was a great fit for my dogs! They had a little vacation and enjoyed themselves. My puppy had a few accidents and Sarah was very gracious about it. She was flexible and communicative!”

“My dog looked like he was enjoying himself so much, I wasn’t sure how to convince him to come home🤭 His previous stay away from home was terrible, and stressful, he returned with hotspots all over his body. I knew we found a good fit Anika because she only watches one dog at a time, more his speed. We received pictures and updates daily which eased his humans minds. I cannot thank Anika enough fo her care. See you soon!”
“Erin was great. I could tell that Bonsai had a great time when I picked her up and from the photos I received during her stay with Erin. The meet and greet was great with Bonsai and Erin's dogs as well. The communication with Erin definitely a win with how everything was going.”
“Christine was excellent with us and took great care of Burt. She was caring and compassionate, and she sent a lot of photos/videos while we were gone. Even when Burt was having some issues because of a UTI, she made sure to attend to his needs and was very patient. She gave him medicines each day as well. We're very grateful for everything Christine did for us, and Burt is thankful too. :)”

“Rebecca is amazing! She took the best care of my Garnet while I was away on vacation and spoiled her with lots of love and treats! I really appreciated the through updates everyday and the open line of communication we had ❤️ I will definitely be booking her in the future and recommend her to everyone!”
“TOP ENDORSEMENT: Pet care is Kimberly's career. This dedication & training are evident in her professional in-person demeanor and ease with animals. Kimberly sat my two male, semi-feral cats for a week and I couldn't be happier with her care. Food, water, and litterbox cleaning was EXACTLY as I asked. The aloof, don't-touch-me cat now adores her. She was even kind enough to water my money tree and stack my mail. Her expertise and depth of experience enabled me to travel completely WORRY FREE. Highly recommend!”

“Linda was able to accommodate Conchita on such a short notice, and I am so thankful she did! Conchita had such a good time with Linda, her family, and all her pets. I am so glad that her sweet dog matched my baby's energy. So happy with the experience she provided for her. Thank you Linda!”

About: Hi! I’m Haley, a stay at home mom and lifelong animal lover who understands that pets are family not just animals. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away, so you can enjoy your time knowing they’re in caring hands. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up in a family that rescued animals, and my mom has worked in the veterinary field her entire career. Before becoming a stay-at-home mom to my three little ones, I spent years working in animal hospitals, where I gained experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. That background taught me how important patience, consistency, and attention to detail are when it comes to caring for animals. At home, we have three playful kittens and a friendly dog, so your pet will be staying with someone who truly understands their needs. We also have a large backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and get plenty of exercise. I know every pet is different, which is why I do my best to stick to their normal routine. Whether that means feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications, walks, cuddle time, or simply giving them space to relax! I’ll care for your pet the way you do at home. I believe keeping their routine as consistent as possible helps reduce stress and makes them feel comfortable. When your pet stays with me, they’ll be treated like part of the family. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, and updates while you’re away so you always know they’re happy and well cared for. I know how hard it can be to trust someone with your furry family member, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’d be honored to care for your pet and provide them with a safe, loving home away from home. I am currently a stay at home mom to four children, I am available almost 24/7 to be able to care for your pet, and have a very flexible schedule I have a decent sized yard, it is not fenced in but your pet will never be left unsupervised outside. I am a firm believer that pets are family and will be treated as such. There is no limitations on where your pet will be allowed to go in my home. They want to jump up on the couch for some snuggles? Go right ahead. Feel more comfortable at night in my room? Come right on in. The way your pet is cared for at your home is how they will be treated here.
“Denise was great and treated our dog like family! Her family was very welcoming at the meet and great and every time we dropped our dog off at her home. He always comes home happy, tired, and content. I would highly recommend Denise!”
About: I have been a dog owner and lover for over 25 years. Your fur babies will definitely be treated like a member of our family while here. I work from home so there will be very little time, if any, that your pup would be without company. I have watched dogs/puppies of friends and families for years. Also would love the added benefit of giving my two pups some company now and then. My husband would also be here on evenings and weekends to help with any four-legged guests. We love dogs and would love to welcome yours while you are away! Pet care is top priority and we will take the best care possible of your fur babies. There will be lots of love, snuggles and exercise, and we will stick to your feeding and walking schedules to keep their routine consistent. We give lots of attention and love to doggy visitors. We have trails in our neighborhood as well as a nice sized yard where we can take walks. Your pup will definitely be treated as part of our family.
“Second time using Genil (in less than two weeks) and she was just as great as the first time. I had a last minute request and she accommodated my early morning drop off time. She sent pics showing her interacting with the puppy and he had a great time. Her mom is funny, too. It took a second for my puppy to warm up to her but they're best friends now. Lol. Highly recommend. We'll definitely be back.”

I am typically with the dogs until 10pm when I put them away for the night. Kennel is safe clean and temperature controlled. Dogs are walked on leash, and may even stay in my home, with my personal dogs upon client request.
About: I’ve always had a pet ever since I can remember. Dogs, cats, potbelly pigs, hedgehogs, you name it. My love for pets guides my life. I have three rescue dogs of my own. I have owned puppies and also have experience with senior dogs. I have a very well sized back yard that is fenced in. Your animal will be in amazing care on my watch, as I would treat them as my own. I own my own business so my schedule is very flexible. I am able to doggie board on weekends. I am able to drop in and dog walk throughout the day Monday- Sunday. I am well experienced with puppy care & senior care. From administering pills or oral medication to crating animal when needed I am well experienced with it all. I have years of experience and have had animals with a wide range of needs. I love animals with all of my heart and provide compassionate care. If you are interested in dog sitting I can provide services in your home or mine. I only ask that the dog is crate trained because I also have dogs and will need to take turns letting your pets & my pets outside into my backyard for restroom, play, & exercise. I have a 1/2 acre fenced in back yard that your dogs will enjoy.
About: Very experienced 20 plus years dog owner and dog lover! We bread our KCC and now have 2 beautiful small gentle dogs. Your pet is welcome in our home. Or I can visit them in yours. I have two children age 9 and 13 who have had dogs all their lives. Love all dogs and are very good at caring and playing with them! I am a stay at home mum.

About: I have taken care of dogs most of my life, helped with friends and family animals. I have done training with most of my dogs as well. I am a new resident in the area and love animals. I am retired and not working at this time. I am very reliable and will take good care of your pets. I have a large fenced in back yard and 2 small dogs for playmates with your fur babies.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a kid. My family and I are dog lovers but are not ready to own one so we are able to provide your pet with undivided attention and care. I work from home full time so I have the ability to care for your pet and let them outside frequently whenever they wanted it. I have a fenced in huge yard with plenty of space for your dog to run and play. My children are 5 and 7 and would entertain your pet with plenty of play and cuddles.
About: I’ve had a lifelong love for animals and years of experience caring for a wide variety of pets—including dogs, cats, fish, snakes, pigs, and even chickens! Currently, I share my home with three beloved cats—Captain, Haven, and Slasher—and one sweet pup, Lucy, who keeps life fun and full of love. In addition to caring for my own fur babies, I regularly house-sit and pet-sit for friends and family. I'm currently unemployed due to medical reasons, which gives me a flexible schedule to accommodate potty breaks, playtime, feeding routines, and check-ins—even if I’m not staying overnight. I like to start with a meet and greet to get to know you and your pets. During that time, I ask clients to walk me through their routine and expectations, and I encourage leaving a detailed care list I can refer back to as needed. My goal is to keep things as smooth, stress-free, and loving as possible—for both you and your pets. I'd love the opportunity to care for your fur babies with the same attention and affection I give my own. Let's chat about how I can help! Pet care is already a big part of my daily life with my own cats and dog. I plan my day around feeding, potty breaks, and playtime, so adding in care for other pets fits naturally into my routine. My flexible schedule allows me to easily accommodate visits, walks, or overnight stays based on your pet’s needs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I follow any specific routines or instructions provided and make sure pets are in a secure, clean, and stress-free environment. I take the time to build trust with each pet, move at their pace, and keep their daily routines as consistent as possible. I also encourage clients to leave detailed care notes to ensure nothing is missed.

About: Hi 👋 My name is Brooke and I’m your 4-legged-baby‘s new best friend. I am both a dog and a cat person. I’ve had the privilege loving my own and have fostered many others. I have tons of experience with special needs pets, including special diets and administering medications. While getting paid to do something I love sounds amazing, safety is priority number 1. So go and enjoy yourself, I have everything under control 😉 While I do have to show up to my day job in order to maintain my cats life of luxury(and believe me he is demanding), I am an early bird so I can stop by first thing in the morning. I will head right over after work and again before bed. Unless you’d like me to have a sleep over with your pet so that they won’t feel lonely. I’m going to love your pet as if they were my own. I follow instructions and I don’t allow myself to become distracted. Your pet is my priority.

About: Hello I am Maura! I grew up in a very large family and we always had a dog. I have had four dogs of my own. I have done pet sitting and fostering for families, friends and a dog rescue organization. My husband and I are passionate dog lovers with 30 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and ages. I'm reliable, responsible, and dedicated to providing a safe and loving environment for your furry family member. I’ve always been drawn to dogs and spent years volunteering for a dog rescue organization where I gained valuable experience in caring for dogs with a variety of needs. My husband volunteered with me and together we made several trips down south in a large van to rescue puppies from puppy mills or older dogs scheduled to be euthanized for sitting in shelter too long. I offer in-home pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-ins, and I'm happy to administer medication, provide playtime, and ensure your dog's comfort and well-being. I have a strong understanding of dog behavior and am happy to provide personalized care based on your dog's individual needs. My hasband and I are both home every day. I am available to care for dogs day or night. We are very active and include dogs in our daily life along the Potomac River. Spending time in the yard and walking around the neighborhood are part of my daily routine. My home is pet friendly with a large, fenced yard. Dogs are treated as family members. I am open minded and will listen carefully to any specific instructions provided to me for your furry friend.
About: I’ve been around dogs most of my life. I currently have a Blue Great Dane named Diesel. He is great with other dogs, and we will have to do a meet and great to make sure you’re pup will get along with him also. I’m usually available unless the wife has me doing something. I spend every min I can with my dog and will show your dog the same treatment. My yard is unfenced for now, but it is 2 acres that’s at the end of a quiet neighborhood. We have plenty of room to play and go on walks.
“I highly recommend Melanie and Randy to care for your pets! Our dog,Pax, can only have a certain type of dog toy, since he is a heavy chewer, and Melanie made sure that he would only have non-destructable toys to play with. She also gave updates with pictures to let me know how Pax was settling in. I felt very comfortable with Melanie and Randy caring for Pax and will definitely rebook with them on the future.”
About: I provide a calm, structured home environment along with attentive home visits. My goal is simple: for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I’m home the majority of the day, which allows me to provide consistent supervision and attention. Because of this, your pup won’t be left alone for extended periods. My home is clean, pet-safe, and designed for comfort. I intentionally limit the number of dogs I board at one time to ensure each pet receives attentive, high-quality care. Located in the desirable and safe Pembrooke neighborhood, I also provide regular photo updates so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away.
“she was very nice and made us feel very comfortable leaving our pet in her care. She communicated with us during our vacation letting us know how our pet was doing during her stay. I recommend her to anyone who looking for a sitter for their pet ?. I look forward to do business with her again.”
